Honestly tho fuck old people, ive heard about 10 million going towards a small extension to a retirement home near me - while homeless tents burn to the ground.

If its them or us, fuck old people

Ya know, one day you too will be old. I hope the youth of your time don't have the same reaction as you do.

Very unlikely that the seniors had a choice of where to build said retirement home, and id also be quite surprised if it was purely the old people who caused the homelessness.

It's more likely poor city council planning, poor infrastructure all around, and our collapsing government, but sure... Lets just blame the old people.

Also, not you specifically, but I do love that everyone's first choice was "Fuck old people" and not "Lets make it better for everyone and add public transportation, before actively harming seniors".

And I hope the youth of my time even exists.

Honestly if I get to retire I'll consider myself having done well, but let's let these vicious old people tell us off for their final years (ive worked on a couple homes personally)
